New Life

There is so much happening every moment of every day since the last few days that this is the best I can get to capturing everything.

Emotions so far:
Anxiety
Excitement
Panic
Worry
Happiness

New nationalities I have interacted with:
Emirati
Chinese
Filipino 
Kiwi
Aussie
Malaysian

First time at groceries:
Pulses
Cooking oil
Utensils
Salt and spices

Other new things:
Figuring out a new currency and an entire system around it
Search for a house
Not having a clue which direction to look in before crossing a road
Attempts at making every office day dressy
Efforts at viewing Pakistanis without any bias
Did I mention cooking?

The good thing is that 9 out of 10 people here have gone through the above experience. 'New life' is such a loosely used phrase that I will never be able to explain what I am going through. But these people are truly making every first step of the new life as comforting as possible. 

And family, well, they are the pillars that keep me standing.

Farewells
More farewells

Packing up, getting stranded and flying on V Day

New extensions, temporary home, huge portions of food, and multiple time zones

Welcome flowers and pastry
Oh yes, I can do this too!

Client offices and views of the sea
